if you can call it a city because it pretty much seamlessly
luglessly?
connects to the rest of Tokyo
but it is home to one very special place that I know of

this is the Toei Bike Factory
as you can see they are churning out frames at the rate of about
one per week
which means there is a two year wait
which is not outrageous
for a custom-made frame
from what I gather

the place is not big
this is it
all you can see. one room.
three guys working today
and two guys not in
sick? passed away? not sure

some of you might remember a post
back in 2011
whoah, I was much more prolific back then
on my brother-in-law's bike
well that bike met its maker
or rather the frame did
long story
and anyway he
my BiL
not God
needs a new bike quite urgently
so out of the goodness of my heart I'm ressurecting
all the old Superbe parts
adding some bits
but most importantly attaching them to the frame
he always wanted as a kid
a Bianchi Supercorsa

Now there's an SEO optimised title to attract the wrong kind of attention.
I suppose what I'm posting below is pr0n though
just maybe not the kind the next visitor to this reluctant little* site is expecting

coming soon

Bikes, etc

This blog is for pictures of my bikes or bikes that come my way, or that interest me. Mostly they will be steel, but sometimes not probably. Or they will be other things. Click on the pics to embiggen them. Then click again and in most cases they will embiggen more.
